A new study of decades worth of seismogram data shows that the surface of Earth’s iron and nickel core is more malleable than scientists thought.

Where the Earth’s core meets the mantle, there are two giant regions that have baffled geologists for fifty years. A new ...

Earth's innermost layer is called the core. The outside of Earth's core is made from molten nickel and iron that can reach temperatures of 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit (5,000 degrees Celsius).

the blazing-hot ball of metal at the center of the Earth's core is actually more active than one might think. In fact, it might be host to a centra-planet molecular dinner party. Using machine ...

In fact, solid iron at high temperature and pressure could contain ... a geophysicist at the University of New Mexico who was ...

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

First, the researchers note that understanding the Earth’s inner core is difficult for several reasons. Chief among these is the fact that seismological observations have shown a complicated ...

Scientists have uncovered new information about the Earth's core: it may not be completely solid. Instead, its center may be more malleable than expected and has changed shape in recent years.

Scientists have identified another possible commonality between Earth and Mars: a solid inner core. Scientists have ...

Seismic waves suggest the planet's solid inner core is being pulled out of shape – and it has undergone these changes over just a few decades ...

New research sheds light on the Earth's "innermost inner core," offering new insight into the formation of the planet and its magnetic field. From our morning news briefing to a weekly Good News ...

In fact, solid iron at high temperature and pressure ... of New Mexico who was not involved in the study but studies Earth's core. The findings confirm that helium could stay locked in Earth's ...
